[nfb-talk] the new canes

[Kerri Kosten]

Hi Joshua and All:

I use and really like the straight fiberglass cane;I have never used
the telescoping canes because I've heard what you just said...that
they collapse when you don't want them to and I found I like the
straight canes well enough.

Are both the telescoping and straight fiberglass canes going away or
just the telescoping fiberglass ones?
